If sipping beautifully crafted cocktails while eating a variety of scrumptious oysters and watching the sun set on the water sounds like a perfect evening, then Grand Banks is the perfect restaurant for you.

“Inspired by the floating oyster barges, Grand Banks promotes sipping champagne on the water and enjoying oysters by the dozen.” DeCosta said.

This floating restaurant is perfect for friends and family to socialize and drink with on another. Everything else is set up for you from the most beautiful scenery of the sunset and the skyline to the array of food and cocktail choices. Another haute detail of Grand Blanc is that a share of their earnings goes into developing oyster habits in New York Harbor.
